Maybe it makes me a bad Myst fan, but I've always had a simmering hatred for the Falling Man. I love the symbolism, I love the idea and the iconic nature of the imagery, but the actual silhouette looks so bedraggled and poorly-vectorized over the years that my artistic brain can't wrap itself around it.

I've played with the idea of doing a piece based on the Falling Man for years, but I think this is the only time I had a solid enough composition to finish it up. Atrus would, in actuality, be holding the book as he jumps into the fissure, but I was too in love with the idea of him reaching out for it in the darkness.

honestly, thank you for this. my god. i love myst so much and a lot of the people i know/talk to don't know about it i just love the angle and the colors and also how he's falling. it's so romantic in the 'fantasy-like' sense, haha

So. I am in no way a visual artist (I dabble more in performing arts and literature/poetry), but I just gotta say there is something really fantastic about your style! Atrus (or the Falling Man...?) looks vaguely Disney, but also obviously not.

I'm just blabbering at this point, but basically this caught my attention.

Okay, I admit that I've never played Myst, or even really heard about it before now. But I just love this picture. And it has made me look up this game and add it to my list of games I would like to play someday.

This is such a grand Myst interpretation in art form that my nostalgic 5-year-old self is rolling around in circles with joy. THANKYOU. And please do finish more of your Myst art so I can just keep doing circles and imprint the LucasArts logo into my floor...
